If the warning lamps and messages are ignored, the vehicle may stall in
traffic, or may cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or text messages.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle away from the traffic, ensuring that there are no easi-
ly inflammable materials under the vehicle which could come into contact
with the exhaust system (e.g. dry grass, fuel).
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of accident for the driver and for oth-
er road users. If necessary, switch on the hazard warning lamps and put
out the warning triangle to advise other drivers.

Multifunction display memory
The multifunction display is equipped with three memories that work auto-
matically: MFD from departure, MFD from refuelling, MFD total calculation.
On the screen display, you can read which memory is currently displayed.
To change between memories with the ignition on and the memory shown,
press the button
on the windscreen wiper lever or you can also
change between memories using the button on the multifunction steer-
ing wheel.
MenuFunction
MFD from de-
parture
Display and storage of the values for the journey and the
consumption from when the ignition is switched on to
when it is switched off.
If the journey is continued in less than 2 hours after the ig-
nition is switched off, the new data is added to the data al-
ready stored in the memory. The memory will automatically
be deleted if the journey is interrupted for more than two
hours.
MFD from re-
fuellingDisplay and storage of the values for the journey and the
consumption. By refuelling, the memory will be erased au-
tomatically.
MFD total cal-
culation
The memory records the values for a specific number of
partial trips, up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99
hours and 59 minutes, or 1999.9 km (or miles) or 9999 km
(or miles), depending on the model of instrument panel.
On reaching either of these limits a)
, the memory is auto-
matically erased and starts to count from 0 again.
a) It varies according to the type of instrument panel fitted.
Erasing a memory manually
● Select the memory that you wish to erase.
● Press and hold the button
on the windscreen wiper lever or the
button on the multifunction steering wheel for about 2 seconds. Personalising the displays
In the Easy Connect system you can adjust which of the possible displays of
the MFD can be shown on the instrument panel display with the button

play appears.
The engine reaches its operating temperature when in normal driving condi-
tions, the oil temperature is between 80 °C (180 °F) and 120 °C (250 °F). If
the engine is required to work hard and the outside temperature is high, the
engine oil temperature can increase. This does not present any problem as
long as the warning lamps ⇒ page 69 or ⇒ page 70 do not appear on
the display.

Panoramic sliding sunroof* Introduction
Additional information and warnings:
● SEAT information system ⇒ page 73
● Central locking and locking system ⇒ page 86
WARNING
Careless or uncontrolled use of the panoramic sliding sunroof can cause
serious injuries.
● Only open or close the panoramic sliding sunroof when nobody is in
the way of its travel.
● Always take all the keys with you whenever you leave the vehicle.
● Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle, particularly if
they have access to the keys. Uncontrolled use of the key could lock the
vehicle, start the engine, turn on the ignition and operate the panoramic
sliding sunroof.
● The panoramic sliding sunroof can be operated for up to about ten mi-
nutes after the ignition has been switched off, provided the driver door
and the front passenger door are not opened.

Lights and visibility
● Damaged blades: A film of water on the damaged blades may lengthen
the activation time, reduce the washing intervals or result in a fast and con-
tinuous wipe.
● Insects: insects on the sensor may trigger the windscreen washer.
● Salt on roads: in winter, salt spread in the roads may cause an extra
long wipe when the windscreen is almost dry.
● Dirt: dry dust, wax, coating on glass (Lotus effect) or traces of detergent
(car wash) may reduce the effectiveness of the rain sensor or make it react
more slowly, later or not at all.
● Cracked windscreen: the impact of a stone will trigger a single wipe cy-
cle with the rain sensor on. Next the rain sensor detects the reduction in the
sensitive surface area and adapts accordingly. The behaviour of the sensor
will vary with the size of the damage caused by the stone.
WARNING
The rain sensor may not detect enough rain to switch on the wipers.
● If necessary, switch on the wipers manually when water on the wind-
screen obstructs visibility.
Note
● Clean the sensitive surface of the rain sensor regularly and check the
blades for damage ⇒ Fig. 67 (arrow).
● To remove wax and coatings, we recommend a window cleaner contain-
ing alcohol. Checking and topping up the windscreen washer reservoir
with water
Fig. 68 In the engine
compartment: wind-
screen washer reservoir
top
Check the water level in the windscreen washer reservoir regularly and top
up as required.
● Open the bonnet
⇒ page 209.
● The washer reservoir is marked with the symbol on the lid
⇒ Fig. 68.
● Check there is enough water in the reservoir.
● To top up, mix water with a window cleaner recommended by SEAT
⇒
.
Please follow the instructions for use found on the packaging.
● In cold weather, a special antifreeze should also be added to prevent
the water from freezing ⇒
.

122Lights and visibility
Recommended windscreen wipers
● For the hottest seasons we recommend summer G 052 184 A1 for clear
glass. Proportions of the mixture in the washer fluid tank: 1:100 (1 part con-
centrate per 100 parts water).
● All year round, G 052 164 A2 for clear glass. Approximate proportion of
the winter mixture, up to -18 °C (0 °F): 1:2 (1 part concentrate per 2 parts
water); otherwise, a 1:4 proportion of mixture in the washer fluid tank.
Reservoir capacity
The reservoir holds approximately 3 - 4 litres; in vehicles with headlight
washer, it is approximately 3 -6 litres.
WARNING
Never mix an unsuitable antifreeze or other similar additives with the
windscreen washer water. A greasy layer may be formed on the wind-
screen which will impair visibility.
● Use clean water with a window cleaner recommended by SEAT.
● If necessary, add a suitable antifreeze to the water in the reservoir.
CAUTION
● Do not mix cleaning products recommended by SEAT with other prod-
ucts. This could lead to flocculation and may block the windscreen washer
jets.
● When topping up service fluids, make absolutely certain that you fill the
fluids into the correct reservoirs. Using the wrong fluids could cause serious
malfunctions and engine damage! Rear vision mirror
